One-Third of Radnor Without Power

One-third of residences in Radnor Township is out of power with no restoration time in sight, according to the township.

There is a high winds warning in effect, and unless there is an emergency, do not travel out on Radnor’s roadways on Tuesday morning, said Radnor Police Department’s Cpl. Walt Sherman.

“There’s a lot of debris on the roadway and streets are blocked,” Sherman said. Although there were no evacuations overnight, two residents voluntarily went to Radnor High School’s temporary shelter.

There were no fire rescues and no major fires in Radnor overnight.

According to the township, these streets are closed due to downed trees and/or power lines:

At shortly before 8:30 p.m. the electricity went out in the business block of North Wayne Avenue, in parts of Tredyffrin near Old Eagle School Road and in West Wayne — almost, if not, at the same time.

Monday evening, Radnor Township issed a statement "to thank residents who have been assisting the Township with clearing out storm drains filled with leaves, branches, and debris. It has made a significant difference with flooding so far. Radnor Township truly appreciates the help."
